Start the process to appeal
If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.
First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.
If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.
Seek leave to appeal
To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:
- prepare your application
- provide notice to the minister
- mail your application to three parties
1. Prepare your application
You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:
- A document that includes:
- your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
- the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
- a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
- your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
- the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
- whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
- the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision

- the outcome you’d like to see
- A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry

What is considered
The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:
- is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
- could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?
2. Provide your notice
You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.
In your notice, please include a brief description of the:
- decision that you wish to appeal
- grounds for granting leave to appeal

Original proposal
Proposal details
A risk assessment was undertaken for this property:
- to establish the risks that the contaminants identified in the risk assessment may pose to future users
- to identify appropriate risk management measures to be implemented to ensure that the property is suitable for the intended use of Residential, Parkland, Institutional land use as defined by O. Reg. 153/04(the "Regulation"), as amended, made under the Environmental Protection Act (the "Act")
The ministry’s review of the risk assessment involved the following reports, documents and information /correspondence:
- 50 Riverside Road, Simcoe, Ontario, risk assessment, prepared by MTE Consultants, dated March 5, 2021; and
- 50 Riverside Road, Simcoe, Ontario, revised risk assessment, prepared by MTE Consultants, dated August 6, 2021;
Based on the documents provided to the ministry as part of the risk assessment report, the reviewers can confirm that the risk assessment has been conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act (the act), Ontario Regulation 153/04 (the regulation), and the associated guidance documents.
The director provided the proponent with written notice of the director’s decision to accept the risk assessment No. 5105-BSDHZA relating to the property in accordance with s.168.5 of the act on December 16, 2021.
The director is considering issuing a Certificate of Property Use (CPU) in relation to the property. The CPU incorporates the risk management measures proposed in the risk assessment and any additional conditions proposed by the director.
The proposed risk management measures include:
- barriers to site soils, including a fill cap or hard cap
- barrier inspection and maintenance program
- a restriction on the construction of wells for potable water supplies
- a soil and groundwater management plan
- implementation of a ‘building restriction area’ in the southern portion of the Site to prevent the construction of new buildings in the area.
